Racist Dem: Democratic Rep. Cori Bush disputed the Fourth of July's message of independence on Sunday, saying the holiday only represents freedom "for white people."

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people," Bush, a member of the left-wing "Squad," wrote on Twitter amid celebrations of the 245th Independence Day. "This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free."

What a fucking douchebag!

Hate facts, do you?

Frederick Douglas addressed this better than Cori Bush did, but Bush was not wrong. The tax on tea bothered the founding fathers more than slavery did, as a group.

But you can keep defending the white man's world view, Ham. I am sure we are all convinced by you.

OMG! The White Man's World View!!

How Dangerous!

Listen, Howard Zinman, the bottom line is demonizing people by their race, such as Cori Bush and you and the other Wokies do each day, isn't going to get folks to join your movement.
Insisting on not just the primacy of the white man's view but that it is the only legitimate one is demonizing people by their race. Pointing out historical racism and uncomfortable truths about society and history is not.

Solid work.  The National Fitness Foundation recommends five reps of race-baiting posts.

Oh, look who came out of his tree to swing by with nothing but empty snark!

It's yank, the fly-by specialist, who never brings anything of note to the board, just harmless droppings from his safe perch away from any real engagement.

But Bush was not wrong

You don't think that generally speaking black people are "free"?

(a) I don't think July 4th is about their freedom. Do you think it does?!

(b) Unlike you, I can accept that there continues to be systemic racism in this country that holds many Blacks back.

(a) July 4 is about all Americans freedom.
Except those that were left in bondage.

(b) The only thing that holds back anyone in this country is a person's self-expectations and desire to achieve.
"Racism Over, White Person Declares" is one.of my favorite The Onion headlines.

Scott Adams thinks Biden is Satan and the election was stolen.

Two things about people like Adams and Racist Forrest:

1. When people call them to account for the stupid or racist things they say they like to pretend it is not about the things they say, so they invent concepts like "woke" so they can pretend it is not about them being held accountable for their own comments.

2. For people who think they are being silenced by the mob, they sure like to lead a mob to silence others.

When asked to consider the opinions of Scott Adam,  I bear in mind that he predicted last year that if Biden were to win the 2020 presidential election then Republicans would be hunted and most likely dead within a year.

Listen, Howard Zinman, the bottom line is demonizing people by their race, such as Cori Bush and you and the other Wokies do each day, isn't going to get folks to join your movement.

Here's a pop quiz for your, history professor.

Name the only country where the land wasn't stolen from others and people weren't enslaved at some point in its history.

Well, Napoleon, you've managed to underscore, bold, and italicize my point adroitly!

"But it wasn't just us!"

It's hilarious listening to you lecture me on how my "demonizing" white people "every day" is going to fail to sway you to our side, while you demonize us every day!

And your squirming to avoid the points made by Bush, Douglas, LB, and others is exactly what I called it - a white man's response, now in spades (as it were).

Your trivia contest is pretty funny, though, as well as misleading as fuck. That you think there is suggests you have a warped definition of "country" and perhaps of "slavery." Knowing you, you'll say it's Sealand.

All the while, ignoring that even at the Declaration of Independence, the nascent America was trying to keep its slaves and natives in their places, complaining of King George that:
Quote
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.”

If we use a word, we should probably learn its actual meaning.   From Oxford English Dictionary,  New Word Notes:

Participial use of woke in some African-American varieties of English has generated an adjectival meaning that has recently become prominent in general American use, prompting the addition of a new entry for woke as an adjective. The original meaning of adjectival woke (and earlier woke up) was simply ‘awake’, but by the mid-20th century, woke had been extended figuratively to refer to being ‘aware’ or ‘well informed’ in a political or cultural sense. In the past decade, that meaning has been catapulted into mainstream use with a particular nuance of ‘alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice’   

Alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice

What a terrible way to be!
